Bangaii Cardinal Babies!!

RossTheReefer1 · Apr 9, 2016

My pair of Bangaiis in my anemone tank had babies that are alive and well. The 8 fry that made it are eating frozen brine and coral frenzy!

Here's a video from when we first discovered them a couple weeks ago.

That is so cool, amazing how you didn't have to do anything special to raise them like clown fry!

Awesome man! If this keeps happening for you I will have to pick up some young one from you.

Agreed, i think i was just lucky with how i made this tank (not with rearing fry in mind).
The right side of the tank overflows to the left side, which has no other fish in it. Then the circulation on the left side is very circular perfect for giving the fry a lot of opportunities to get food.

Absolutely! I may move the male Bangaii over to the left next time he has fry to ensure more survive. Also need to build a overflow box or something to keep any fry from getting sucked up.

Once these are a little bigger I'll be looking for homes for them too
